Below is the average daily output per kW of Solar PV installed for each season, along with the ideal solar panel tilt angles calculated for various locations in Sweden. Click on any location for more detailed information.

Explore the solar photovoltaic (PV) potential across 154 locations in Sweden, from Kiruna to Trelleborg. We have utilized empirical solar and meteorological data obtained from NASA's POWER API to determine solar PV potential and identify the optimal panel tilt angles for these locations.

Feel free to contact us if you wish for us to include a general Solar PV Analysis for a certain city or location not already listed here for Sweden. We will be more than happy to manually add it for you.

Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Sweden

So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 154 locations in Sweden, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Sweden varies between 56° from the horizontal plane facing South in Kiruna and 46° from the horizontal plane facing South in Trelleborg.

These tilt angles are optimised for maximum annual PV output at each location for fixed-panel solar PV installations. If you click on one of the locations above, there is further detail on ideal seasonal tilt angles as well (in case your solar panels are adjustable).

Depending on where you are based in Sweden, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 10 degrees (between 56° from the horizontal plane facing South and 46° from the horizontal plane facing South).

Sweden solar PV Stats as a country

Sweden ranks 36th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 1,577 total MW's of solar PV installed. This means that 0.70% of Sweden's total energy as a country comes from solar PV (that's 39th in the world).
